Fine & Country presents Wrens Farm House, an exceptional Grade II Listed Kentish farmhouse dating back to the fifteenth century, set on the outskirts of the highly desirable village of Borden, where rolling countryside, orchards and woodland create an idyllic rural backdrop that feels a world away, yet remains conveniently connected.

A home of remarkable character and provenance, it offers over 4,000 square feet of combined accommodation including a beautifully appointed detached Granary annexe, where history, lifestyle and versatility come together in a truly rare offering.

From the moment of arrival, Wrens Farm House makes an immediate and lasting impression.

A generous driveway leads to the house, where centuries of Kentish heritage are evident in every direction, from exposed beams and original inglenook fireplaces to the striking king post within the loft structure.

This is a home that has evolved gently over time, retaining its authenticity while offering the comfort expected for modern family life.

Internally, the accommodation is both substantial and highly adaptable.

Four distinct reception rooms provide exceptional flexibility, allowing for formal entertaining, relaxed family living, a reading room, music room or additional workspace, each space able to function independently without compromising flow.

The farmhouse kitchen sits at the heart of the home, warm, sociable, and characterful, centred around an Aga and designed for gatherings.

A separate utility room, cloakroom and shower room add everyday practicality, while a cellar provides valuable and atmospheric storage, a highly sought after feature in homes of this age.

A dedicated study is quietly positioned away from the principal reception spaces, ideal for home working or focused retreat, enhancing the home’s versatility for modern living.

Upstairs, the sense of scale continues. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, forming a generous suite like space with a calm and restful atmosphere.

Three further bedrooms are complemented by four bathrooms and shower rooms across the main house, an unusually generous provision for a property of this period, ensuring comfort and privacy for both family and guests alike.

The Granary, the detached two-bedroom annexe, adds a further dimension to the property. Fully self-contained and well appointed, it offers genuine independence and flexibility.

It has previously held planning permission for use as a holiday let in 2013, now lapsed, and remains ideally suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation, home working, or potential income, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside, the grounds are every bit as compelling as the house itself.

Over sixteen years, the current owners have created a beautifully established and biodiverse garden setting, replacing mature planting with cobnut, walnut, and fruit trees, and introducing a pond, vegetable beds, and abundant seasonal colour.

The result is a landscape that feels both productive and peaceful, alive with wildlife and changing with the seasons.

At the heart of outdoor life is a sheltered southwest facing courtyard, a naturally social space that connects the farmhouse and Granary.

It has become a place for long summer lunches, evenings gathered around the pizza oven, and relaxed entertaining that flows effortlessly between inside and out.

It is this sense of connection between house, annexe and garden that gives Wrens Farm House its distinctive character.
